If a line falls near you, keep your feet together and jump or shuffle away. If you take normal steps, you're at risk of conducting electricity in your body since the current can flow through both legs separately

And die when that backfire and you trip and extend our feet or use your hands on the ground to stabilize.

There are so many things but I think there is one main root that explains a lot of them...

Here, things are improving. My commute to work next year will be better than this year. There will be a new subway line. Bus service will be better. We have more payment options as time goes by (Im using my credit card to pay for all my public transport commute! Let that sink in for a moment).

There is that belief that things should change, things should be improved.

This is a big contrast to Western countries where next year's traffic will be worse. Next year infrastructure will cost billions, yet will either be worse or at most same.

Construction here happens... almost over night. Why? Because it is possible. In the West, over 3~4 years. Why? Because it's like that. No need to rush.

Someone can do integral in their "god damn sleep" while at the same time not understanding what an integral actually is.

If that is the case, the only use for that skill will be to pass an exam, or be a professional integrator.

An easy example was at work, when I argued that it could make sense in the real world to integrate over 4 variables or more. But the guy was told in class that it was not possible, because they were integrating to find volumes of shapes. All the exercise he did reinforced that belief.

It's not. The question your practice and repeat on the exam have no real life application. The knowledge you "study" from reading and understanding, might not help you that much on the exam, but it will help you in life/work/next class.
